Bristol. Va.—"I was just alxmt
down In bed and so weak I was past
going.” writes Mrs. Jennie Goodman,
of 718 Portsmoutn Avenue, this city.
Mrs. Ooodmen says her family was
very uneasy about her condition, as
she seemed so weak and thin.
“I ached all over,” she explains,
“and my back and sides hurt most
of the time.
"I dragged around, and did not
see a day of good health.
"I went to caLl on one of my
neighbors, and sho remarked about
my looking so bad. Sho told me to
get a bottle of Cardul and take It.
Next Saturday night, my husband
brought It home to me.
"Before I had taken Cardul a
week, I was feeling much better. I
continued taking It for awliile, os
my health kept, on improving.
**I gained In weight, and soon waa
feeling like a new person. Since
then I have taken Cardul several
times, and It has always done me
good. I can recommend It to others.”
Cardul has been in use so long
that Its merit has been proved by
the experience of several genera
tions of women.

One ot the few tattooing "parlors.-’

a few doors off Eighth avenue. The
owner has two signs, one reading
“Tat-2-ing," and the other a card

Panhandlers find the block be

good hunting ground. Peddlers of

of the method used by panhandlers
Is the way the magic-trick salesman

crowd. Then after he shows his bag
of 13 or Tfi tricks, he announces that
all of them can be had for a quar

crowd follows their example. When

Beyond Ninth avenue, there is a

the street, depending where the sun

resting in front of empty buildings.
A bedraggled, aged peddler tries to
attract customers with Ills stock oi
shoelaces, but customers are few.
On I lie downtown side of the
street ts a mission, in front of which
hangs an electric sign reading
"Jesus Saves." In a window is a
Bible, its stained pages open to
Isaiah. Near the Bible is a placard
admonishing those who have not

Tenements increase from Tenth (o

YOUTH KILLED TO
IMPRESS HIS GIRL
('liirago.—Stanley Reichrl, 25
ycar-old mot orman, faces the
electric chair here because, po
lice say, he cold-bloodedly plan
ned and carried out the murder
of an Innocent dupe In an effort
to shine as a hero in the eyes of
a girl and her wealthy parent.
His daughter, Frances, so John
Maslanka, the father, had indicated,
might look higher than a motorman
for n mate Thus was the germ of
the plot planted in the brain of the
Infatuated Reichrl, who himself is
married but estranged from his wife.
Police authorities say he worked
the entire scheme out in advance
with Machiavclian cunning. As they
re-enact it. the boy waxed desper

hearts. He conceived the thought to
blackmail the father lor $500.
threatening his daughter's life as
the penalty for hen-payment.
The father merely reported the
attempted extortion to the authori
ties, but the girl was distraught. As
Reichel had planned, she told him
of the blackmail letter, because he
previously had concocted a false
hood for her consumption to the ef
fort that lie had quit his job on
the street cars and entered the
secret service.

More letters followed the first.
What the plot lacked was action—
and something to give it substance.
Reichel. investigators declare, sup
plied this essential by brutally boat
ing to death Michael Hrybski, an
automobile installment collector, in
a garage at the rear of the Reichel
home. Then, with the blood of his
victim still on Ills hands, he hurried
to the home of Miss Maslanka to

bask in the warmth of her approval
of the hero who had tracked down j
and killed in single-handed combat
the extortioner who had threatened
her life.
It is so the police paint the pic
ture. Reichel admits the killing,
but claims he was attacked by
Hrybski and struck him down in
self-defense.
His story is fantastic and, police
say, shot through with falsehoods.
In a seven page statement, which
he did not sign, Reichel declares
that his victim really was the black
mailer of Maslanka and that he
tracked him down personally. Hry
bski. he intimates, perhaps learned
that he was under suspicion and j
lay in wait for him (Reichel) in the ;
garage.
"I had proof on March 18 that
Hrybski had written those letters to
Mr. Maslanka, and I asked Mr.
Maslanka if he \vanted the man
caught,” declared Reichel. "He told
me he didn't. Then I told Frances
about it and she said she would
never be satisfied until the man who
wrote those letters was killed. Her
mother and her sister, Stephanie,
told her she was crazy to talk that
way.
"Tuesday night as I was putting
my car into my garage, I noticed
the door was partly open. I started
in and saw a strange car standing
there. Then something hit me on
the head. I was dizzy but not knock
ed out, and got hold of a lamp and
fender bracket and swung. A man
fell down. I went into the house
and then, realizing that my hat
had been knocked off in the scuf
fle, returned to the garage. It was
only then that I saw the man I
had hit was Hrybski.
Cot To Tell Girl.
“I started for the Maslanka home
fo tell Frances what I had done be
fore I called the police. I was going
to show her that the man who
wrote the letters to her father was
dead When I arrived at her house,
the police arrested me/’
Later Keicnei insisted MryDSKi naci
shown him a letter that Hryb.ski
said was to be mailed to Maslanka
that night. This letter has not been
received.
The Maslanka girl tola the au
thorities that she had met Rcichel
when they both worked in a piano
factory. Later he told her he had
left the company and \yas doing
secret service work, she said.
*T did not know that Reichel was
married." she said. ‘ He was no more
(han a casual acquaintance and I
certainly was not in love with him.”
The murder of Hrybski bears a
certain resemblance to the killing by
Carl Wanderer of his wife and an
unidentified dupe known ns the
i "Ragged Stranger,” here several
! years ago, and to the murder of
little Bobby Franks by Loeb and
Lcpold, police say.
